Songs with great bass lines

[BOZ]

i was listening to Scenario by A Tribe Called Quest yesterday - Busta Rhymes even mentions "the dungeon dragon" in that song.

 

[Darth Shoju]

OK, just the ones that I have thought of while reading this thread:

Jimi Hendrix's cover of Day Tripper
Metallica's Four Horsemen (another Cliff Burton fan here)
Our Lady Peace's Naveed (not that it was terribly proficient, but it was catchy)
Silverchair's Isreal's Son
Bobby Hebb's Sunny
Big Sugar's Diggin' a Hole

 

[Joël of the FoS]

I forgot to mention of the most unique and aggressive bass sound ever: the Stranglers, in their first two albums (Rattus Norvergicus and No More Heroes).

Joël

 

[Arnwyn]

Groove is in the Heart by Deee Lite.

This one for sure, and also:

Stupid Girl, by Garbage.

Ah, playing air bass. What fun!

 

[freebfrost]

Can't believe I forgot this one, but:

Happy Anniversary by The Little River Band.

 

[Wyn A'rienh]

Dear Prudence comes to mind.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I don't recall if I've mentioned this one before or not...

Muse's Hysteria has a fat, rolling baseline.

 

[RobF]

More Good Base Tracks

Someone already mentioned Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes and Joe Bouchard's work with Blue Oyster Cult (Godzilla especially).

A few others:

The Cure -- Fascination Street (the opening base line is killer)

From the Hair Soundtrack -- Let the Sunshine In

 

[Aaron L]

Does it count if it has piano in it too?

Diamonds and Guns by The Transplants. You might have heard it on a shampoo commercial. But its punk song. I know, Im baffled too.

And Beer by Reel Big Fish.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Second that on the Cure! That was the 1st song I learned on bass...P.Floyd's "Money" was second.

Aaron...all it needs is a big low end, regardless of instrument.

(wanders off playing Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back on a baritone-tuned Ovation guitar)
